Heap-Based Buffer Overread in Graphite2

The crash due to a heap-based buffer overread can be observed in an ASAN build of the standard Graphite2 gr2FontTest utility (git trunk), triggered with the command: $ ./gr2fonttest /path/to/file -auto. The exploit occurs when a 145-byte region is allocated by thread T0 and 0 bytes to the right of this region is located at 0x60e00000dff1. This causes an error in the AddressSanitizer and leads to the heap-based buffer overread.

Mitigation:

The user should update to the latest version of Graphite2 to ensure that the vulnerability is patched.
